Abstract
Abstract This coin-operated apparatus, notably a coin telephone set, has its usual operating equipment enclosed in a cabinet to which the coin box is secured from underneath, so that the coin chute can direct the coins or checks to be cashed to a position overlying the inlet orifice of the coin box. The joint plane between said cabinet and said coin-box is protected on all its external sides by a plate of relatively tough metal having a notch formed in its portion underlying the cabinet, so as to protect the joint against tampering and like breaking actions directed against the coin box, said plate being also adapted to act as a tray or support for the user''s convenience. However, this invention is also applicable to all apparatus of this character having a separate cash-box.
